Precious Experience

Tranlation: It was as short as 10 days, and learning Italian while staying in Florence was a very valuable experience. It was a small class of 6 people, but it was always a fun atmosphere. The teacher also understood each person's level well and taught me in detail. The staff talked to me easily and I was able to spend with peace of mind. It was really encouraging. I would like to return again someday. Thank you very much. It was as short as 10 days, and learning Italian while staying in Florence was a very valuable experience.

The best place to study Italian!

A took some introductory classes in italian at Istituto Europeo and it was an awesome experience. My teachers were very supportive and guided me, hand by hand, class by class, learning the essentials of conversational and written italian. It was all very smooth and their methodology was very helpful. The city is amazing. I had never been to Florence before and I'm sure I'm going to go back soon enough! I cannot really forget it! and the food! don't start me on the food! I couldn't get enough! Awesome, AWESOME experience! It is really the best place to study Italian!

A wonderful time in Florence!

I did a language course in August and it was really an amazing experience for me. I couldn't have asked for better, to be sincere. The teachers at the institute are all really friendly and it was a pleasure to work together with the other students. The institute boasts a real international reputation and students comes from every angle of the world! You meet people from all over the world and you can practice the language a lot. What's best? You have all of Florence for you to practice Italian daily!

Studying during holidays is fun like this

All in all, it was a very nice experience. The course was not about studying from books all day long -- nobody likes to do that! -- but learning with fun, through communicating and real time practicing. That's exactly what I was looking for! Playing games to start new conversations were encouraging not to be afraid of making mistakes. I think that was a very nice methodology to learn a new language, especially Italian. I'm very grateful to all the stuffy, and, in particular to the director, prof. Romagnoli.

Corso indimenticabile a Firenze :-)

Ho fatto un corso di lingua italiana per migliorare la mia lingua parlata e anche scritta:

Dopo 3 settimane (8 ore per giorno) devo dire che tutto il corso e' stato molto divertente con lezioni diverse (grammatica, conversazione, lettura, dettato, film ecc.) e non e' stato mai noioso. Ciò è molto buono! Grazie molto agli insegnanti molto motivati con le idee diverse che mi hanno aiutato ad apprezzare il corso. Grazie a tutto lo staff per i consigli, le sere in centro a Firenze sono state molto divertenti.

From New York to Florence!

I am a student at New York Manhattan College and I studied at the Istituto Europeo of Florence during the 2015. Istituto Eurpeo is a great school to learn Italian and to be immersed with many other cultures as well. It's very internationally oriented and its students come from all around the world, which, to me, is an absolute PLUS! Very small class sizes which is great for learning a language.At times, I wished that the school had more students (only about 20) but in the end I got that working for me, which is fine! The school does offer some great programs, all in all!

From Sri Lanka to Florence, Istituto Europeo

I’m attending Italian language classes in the morning. For music classes I do Repertoire class, just recapping on what repertoire is; the teachers helps me out in expressing and placing the voice in my pieces. Then I’m doing Libretto class which is

mainly to analyze the text and discover really what the characters are alike in opera. Now I’m focusing on Don Giovanni because I love it, it’s a beautiful opera. And then last class is Diction class, because I’m not Italian so I don’t know how to speak Italian and get the Italian pronunciation, especially when I sing. I definitely enjoy the program: the classes are really useful. I feel that I’m improving: before I came here I had a huge problem with my Italian, people couldn’t understand me when I was singing. Now my Italian is getting better and people understand me! I would definitely recommend this program. For singers, I really recommend to go to the place where the music was born, because you get a full understanding of what the culture was like and what the people were like. For example, the little characters in opera are born from Italy, they were actual people at that time. If you are here you see these people, you see them walking, laughing, eating and you see how it was like.

Young American singer studied opera at Istituto Europeo

I’m doing first level Italian and vocal technique with Monica. Then Italian diction with Valeria and Repertoire with Francesca. I really enjoy the courses and I feel like I’m improving a lot: all the teachers are incredibly gifted and they really know what they are talking about, which is good. Florence is beautiful, there’s so much art everywhere. All the museums are great, even the buildings are beautiful, which is nice. What I like about Florence is that there is art everywhere. If a friend was looking to study this sort of things and take it seriously, then I would recommend this program

Pianista y profesora en la Universidad de Costa Rica

Sono una pianista e lavoro all’università in Costa Rica come insegnante di pianoforte e come pianista specializzata nell’accompagnamento. Da 20 anni sono anche insegnante in un corso di musica per bambini. Firenze mi piace molto, è una città bellissima con dei paesaggi unici. E’ molto diversa dal Costa Rica, ed è un luogo privilegiato per chi ama la musica: ci sono tantissimi spettacoli ed eventi a cui assistere. Sto frequentando all’Istituto Europeo un corso di italiano per migliorare la mia conoscenza della lingua ed un corso di pianoforte d’accompagnamento. Dato che il mio lavoro in Costa Rica è proprio pianista d’accompagnamento, mi interessa conoscere la tradizione di accompagnamento d’opera. Il corso mi piace e mi trovo molto bene, i professori sono molto bravi e l’ambiente della scuola è molto piacevole.
